Cooking with gifts from the garden--Violet Shortbread with Lemon Glaze

I am so happy to be sharing a now-favorite recipe for spring...

Violet Shortbread Cookies with Lemon Glaze

I am known among family and friends for my Almond Shortbread Cookies around Christmas time. There's not been a year skipped since my girls were young, and I don't intend to stop either!

The beauty of spring and violets are here, and for several years I've been wanting to try my hand at cooking with the essence and flavoring of violets.

A feature in Victoria - a dream come true!

I have built my business based on the principle of defining and creating my own beauty. And then making a business of it. And also, I have built my business in hopes of inspiring others. Therefore, the Victoria publication is a perfect match for me to showcase my knowledge, and my idea of a beautiful and useful thing.

The Posy Book Tour (RV edition)

It was the trip I'd been dreaming of for such a long time. But I didn't think it would be in heading out of town in such a nice 'coach'. That's what you call the big RVs, rather than a motor home. I think it's sort of the boat vs yacht thing! Regardless, we enjoyed the pace of the traveling.
